About Pauma Valley Country Club

Pauma Valley Country Club is a private country club tucked away in the foothills of Palomar Mountain, San Diego North County. It’s the location, history of the club and the Pauma Valley lifestyle that make this club so special, say its proud members.

Pauma Valley Country Club features a spectacular Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Signature Golf Course which opened for play on November 1, 1960. Since then it has gathered awards and loyal followers while always being maintained in top condition.

The views from several of the holes of the surrounding mountains, avocado and citrus groves are stunning, showcasing the area on numerous television shows such as Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf. The course has been listed among the Top 100 Best Courses in the U.S. and as a Top 10 club in California by Golf Digest.

Pauma Valley Country Club has also hosted the U.S. Open qualifier many times and has hosted many other high-profile golf events. Most recently the course hosted the 2011 U.S. Mid-Amateur Qualifying event and the 2006 and 2007 U.S. Amateur Qualifying tournament.

The club is also noted for its fly-in airstrip, completely outfitted woodworking shop, Grill Room, outdoor terrace and cottages.

We are pleased to announce the addition of Tehama, a Carmel, California club community set in the hills overlooking Carmel Bay, to the GolfCourseHome Network. Founded on principles of sustainability by Clint Eastwood, this exclusive gated community of Tehama offers golf by Jay Morrish, a designer clubhouse and award-winning amenities and service.

On more than 2,000 acres of rolling hill country above the vibrant community of Carmel, the exclusive community of Tehama offers a secluded rural retreat adjoining a private golf course, whose membership is by invitation only, crafted by the noted architect Jay Morrish.

Unlike many other private golf communities where members continue to wait for clubhouses, swimming pools and other features to be completed long after their homes have been finished, Tehama’s amenities are ready now for members’ use and enjoyment.

This includes the striking clubhouse, with an architectural style preserving the Spanish and Western influence of old Carmel. Commanding wide views from its mountain-top location, it overlooks the finishing hole of the golf course with ocean views and preservation lands beyond.

Tehama also features an extensive fitness center and an award-winning invitation-only golf club that has earned the accolades of several national publications. Its members enjoy the use of two private tennis courts and a fitness center equipped with cardio and strength training equipment.

A Vision of Careful Stewardship: Guided by Clint Eastwood's vision of sustainable development, Tehama has preserved more than 85 percent of its land as open space. It was honored with the prestigious Golden Bear award for its careful preservation of the environment.

As part of the founder’s commitment to land preservation, only 90 families will occupy these 2,000 acres near the time-honored Monterey Peninsula.
